Description
背景技术
i.技术领域
本发明整体涉及外科器械,更具体地讲,涉及手术缝合器械。
ii.相关领域的背景技术
手术缝合器械已被用来同时在组织内制备切口并将几排缝钉施加到切口的相对侧。这种器械常常包括一对协同工作的钳口构件,如果意图将所述器械用于内窥镜式或腹腔镜式应用,则所述钳口构件能够穿过套管通道。在各种实施例中,其中一个钳口构件可以接纳具有至少两行横向间隔开的缝钉的钉仓。另一钳口构件可以限定砧座,所述砧座具有与钉仓中的成行的缝钉对齐的缝钉成形凹陷部。该器械还可包括多个楔或缝钉橇,当向远侧驱动时,其穿过钉仓内的开口并与支撑缝钉的驱动器接合,以便使缝钉朝砧座击发。通过在切口每侧上形成几行缝钉的同时切断组织,可以减少流血和简化各种外科手术。然而在某些情况下,形成缝钉并同时切割组织所需的力可能很大。
以前的手术缝合器械包括柄部组件、从柄部组件延伸的细长轴、以及活动安装到细长轴的端部执行器,其中端部执行器可以相对于细长轴进行关节运动。通常,外科医生需要使用双手,以使端部执行器相对于轴进行关节运动,即外科医生往往需要用一只手握住(例如)外科器械的柄部组件,并用另一只手操作使端部执行器进行关节运动的(例如)杠杆。虽然这类外科器械可能在许多情况下适合,但是外科医生可能腾不出手来进行外科手术中的另外的步骤。上述讨论仅仅为了举例说明技术领域内目前存在的一些不足,而不应看作是对权利要求范围的否定。
发明内容
在一个一般方面,外科器械可包括多个磁性元件,所述多个磁性元件能够使外科器械的端部执行器进行关节运动。外科器械可包括至少一个电磁体,所述至少一个电磁体可以被有选择地激活或极化以产生磁场,该磁场足以激发(例如)安装到端部执行器的至少一个第二磁性元件,例如永久磁体和/或铁芯。在各种实施例中,外科器械可包括第一电磁体和第二电磁体,第一电磁体能够产生第一磁场,第一磁场使端部执行器在第一方向上旋转;第二电磁体能够产生第二磁场,第二磁场使端部执行器在第二方向上旋转。在某些实施例中,外科器械可包括至少一个螺线管,所述至少一个螺线管可以能够使外科器械的端部执行器枢转。
在一个一般方面,外科器械可包括电机,所述电机可以能够使外科器械的端部执行器枢转。在某些实施例中,电机可包括绕组,所述绕组可以有选择地通电,以旋转铁芯。在至少一个实施例中,电机可包括至少一个电磁体,所述至少一个电磁体可以能够使安装有至少一个磁性元件的轴旋转。在各种实施例中,外科器械还可包括锁和/或制动器,所述锁和/或制动器可以能够防止或至少抑制外科器械的端部执行器的关节运动。在某些实施例中,锁可包括至少一个螺线管、电机和/或电磁体,这些部件可以能够在锁紧位置和解锁位置之间运动锁紧元件,以使锁紧元件与端部执行器接合和分离。
在一个一般方面,外科器械可包括多个磁性元件,所述多个磁性元件能够打开和关闭外科器械的端部执行器。在某些实施例中,外科器械可包括至少一个电磁体,所述至少一个电磁体可以被有选择地激活或极化以产生磁场,该磁场足以激发(例如)安装到端部执行器的砧座的至少一个第二磁性元件,例如永久磁体和/或铁芯。在另一个一般方面,手术缝合器械可包括多个磁性元件,所述多个磁性元件能够在外科器械内推进和/或收回击发杆、切割构件和/或缝钉橇,以便切割和/或缝合定位在外科器械的端部执行器内的组织。在某些实施例中,切割元件可包括安装在上面的至少一个电磁体,所述至少一个电磁体可以能够产生磁场,该磁场能够与(例如)安装到端部执行器的一个或多个永久磁体相互作用。
本发明内容旨在简要概述本申请的某些实施例。应当理解,本申请不限于本发明内容中所公开的实施例,而是有意涵盖其权利要求书所规定的精神和范围内的修改形式。还应当理解,本发明内容不应被解读或理解为将用来限制权利要求书的范围。

除了上述闭合驱动器之外,柄部组件702还可包括关节运动系统,所述关节运动系统能够使驱动器(例如驱动器739)旋转,以便使端部执行器706相对于细长轴704进行关节运动。在至少一个这样的实施例中,柄部组件702还可包括可在锁紧位置和解锁位置之间运动的关节运动旋钮760,其中在某些实施例中,主要参见图17,关节运动旋钮760可以在锁定到旋转钮770的第一或远侧位置和从旋转钮770上解锁的第二或近侧位置之间滑动。主要参见图19,关节运动旋钮760可包括一个或多个锁紧齿或凸起761,锁紧齿或凸起761可能够与旋转钮770上的一个或多个锁紧齿或凸起771接合,使得当关节运动旋钮760被定位在其锁紧或远侧位置时,关节运动旋钮760不能相对于旋转钮770旋转。因此,在至少一个这样的实施例中,当关节运动旋钮760在其锁紧位置时,不能利用关节运动旋钮760来旋转驱动器739并使端部执行器706进行关节运动。
除了上述之外,当关节运动旋钮760运动至其解锁或近侧位置时,锁紧齿761可以充分脱离锁紧齿771,使得关节运动旋钮760可以相对于旋转钮770旋转。在至少一个这样的实施例中,再次参见图16,关节运动旋钮760可以在箭头D1所指示的第一方向上旋转,以使端部执行器706在箭头CW所指示的顺时针方向上旋转;相应地,关节运动旋钮760可以在箭头D2所指示的第二方向上旋转,以使端部执行器706在例如箭头CCW所指示的逆时针方向上旋转。主要参见图18,关节运动旋钮760可以与花键环763可操作地接合,使得当关节运动旋钮760旋转时,花键环763可以被关节运动旋钮760旋转。在至少一个这样的实施例中,参见图18,花键环763可包括一个或多个花键764,花键764可能够允许关节运动旋钮760在其锁紧位置和解锁位置之间滑动,并且将旋转运动传递到花键环763。在各种实施例中,现在参见图19,花键环763可包括两个或更多个部分,这些部分可以组装到一起,使得花键环763包围闭合管712的至少一部分。在至少一个这样的实施例中,闭合管712可包括孔或窗口765,孔或窗口765可能够允许花键环763的至少一部分延伸穿过闭合管712并可操作地接合驱动器739。更具体地讲,花键环763还可包括从其延伸的一个或多个凸起或键766,凸起或键766可以被接纳在驱动器739内的一个或多个孔767中,使得当花键环763被关节运动旋钮760旋转时,花键环763可以使驱动器739旋转。因此,在各种实施例中,当关节运动旋钮760在其解锁位置时,关节运动旋钮760和驱动器739可以相对于闭合管712和脊构件716旋转。
在使用中,如上文所概述的,可以向近侧拉动关节运动旋钮760,以使锁紧齿761脱离旋转钮770的锁紧齿771。在各种实施例中,大致参见图16,关节运动旋钮760还可包括从其延伸的唇缘769,其中在至少一个实施例中,唇缘769可能够允许外科医生用一个或多个手指抓住唇缘769,并向近侧拉动关节运动旋钮760。在这样的情况下,参见图17,关节运动旋钮760可以压缩定位在关节运动旋钮760和旋转钮770中间的偏置构件,例如弹簧768。在某些实施例中,关节运动旋钮760、驱动器739和端部执行器706可以能够使得当关节运动旋钮760例如在D1方向上大致旋转10度时,端部执行器706可以在CW方向上大致旋转10度。可以将这样的实施例称为具有1∶1的齿轮齿数比,但也可以设想可具有更小或更大齿轮齿数比的其他实施例。在任何情况下,一旦端部执行器706发生令人满意的关节运动,外科医生即可释放关节运动旋钮760,使得弹簧768可以再次将关节运动旋钮760从其解锁位置运动到其锁紧位置。参见图19,锁紧齿761和/或锁紧齿771各自可包括一系列齿,这些齿可以能够使得锁紧齿761和771中的至少一些可以互相啮合或互锁,而不考虑关节运动旋钮760相对于旋转钮770的旋转程度。在图示的实施例中,齿761和齿771各自被布置成环形或至少大体上环形且同心或至少大体上同心的阵列。
在各种实施例中,除了上述之外,旋转钮770可能够使端部执行器706围绕纵向轴线(例如纵向轴线799)旋转。在至少一个这样的实施例中,主要参见图17,旋转钮770可以在锁定到机架701的远侧锁紧位置和从机架701上解锁的近侧解锁位置之间运动。在各种实施例中,再次参见图17,旋转钮770还可包括从其延伸的唇缘779,其中在至少一个实施例中,唇缘779可能够允许外科医生用一个或多个手指抓住唇缘779,并向近侧拉动旋转钮770。与上述类似,主要参见图19,旋转钮770可包括一个或多个锁紧齿或凸起772,锁紧齿或凸起772可能够与机架701上的一个或多个锁紧齿或凸起773接合,使得当旋转钮770被定位在其锁紧或远侧位置时,旋转钮770不能相对于机架701旋转。然而,当旋转钮770从机架701上解锁时,旋转钮770可以相对于机架701旋转,以使端部执行器706围绕纵向轴线799旋转。更具体地讲,在至少一个实施例中,旋转钮770还可包括一个或多个驱动部分(例如平驱动部分774),平驱动部分774可能够通过脊部716上对应的平坦部分775将旋转钮770的旋转传递到脊部716。在至少一个这样的实施例中,主要参见图19,平驱动部分774可能够延伸穿过闭合管712内的窗口765,以及驱动器739内的窗口776,使得平驱动部分774可以直接接合脊716上的平坦部分775。
除了上述之外,参见图17,旋转钮770可能够:当将旋转钮770向近侧拉入如上所述的解锁位置时,锁紧齿771可以通过锁紧齿761将旋转钮770的旋转传递到关节运动旋钮760。因此,在至少一个这样的实施例中,关节运动旋钮760可以与旋转钮770同步旋转,使得当旋转钮770处于其解锁位置时,脊构件716可以与驱动器739同步旋转。在至少一个实施例中,由于脊构件716和驱动器739的同步旋转,当旋转钮770相对于柄部机架701旋转时,端部执行器706可以不相对于细长轴704进行关节运动。换句话讲,当旋转钮770不相对于关节运动旋钮760旋转、并且驱动器739不相对于脊716旋转时,驱动器739可能无法使端部执行器706相对于轴704进行关节运动。在任何情况下,一旦端部执行器706围绕轴线799进行了适当的旋转,即可释放旋转钮770,以便将旋转钮770的锁紧齿772与柄部机架701的锁紧齿773重新啮合。在至少一个实施例中,参见图17-19,柄部组件702还可包括定位在旋转钮770和机架701中间的偏置构件(例如弹簧778),其中,当旋转钮770从其远侧锁紧位置运动至其近侧解锁位置时,弹簧778可以在旋转钮770和机架701之间压缩,并且当如上所述释放旋转钮770时,弹簧778可以将旋转钮770偏置为远离机架701,使得锁紧齿772与锁紧齿773重新啮合。再次参见图19,锁紧齿772和/或锁紧齿773各自可包括一系列齿,这些齿可以能够使得锁紧齿772和773中的至少一些可以互相啮合或互锁,而不考虑旋转钮770相对于机架701的旋转程度。在图示的实施例中,锁紧齿772和齿773各自被布置成环形或至少大体上环形且同心或至少大体上同心的阵列。
在各种实施例中,除了上述之外,外科医生可以一只手(如右手)握住柄部组件702并操作外科器械700。在至少一个实施例中,如上文所概述的,外科医生可以将其(例如)拇指放置在手枪式握把103的近侧面,并将其同一只手的一个或多个其余手指放置在触发器108和110的远侧面,以便向这些触发器施加力并将它们朝手枪式握把103拉动,从而将触发器108和110朝手枪式握把103收回。此外,如上文所概述的,外科医生可以将其同一只手的一个或多个其余手指向远侧延伸,以便抓住关节运动旋钮760的唇缘769和/或旋转钮770的唇缘779,并向近侧拉动这些唇缘。换句话讲,外科医生可以仅用一只手通过闭合触发器108打开和关闭砧座114、通过击发触发器110切割和缝合组织、使端部执行器706相对于细长轴704围绕关节接头720进行关节运动、以及使端部执行器706围绕纵向轴线799旋转。因此,外科医生可以在手术过程中腾出另一只手来进行其他任务。然而在许多情况下,尤其是当外科医生的手太小或因其他原因而不能进行上述任务时,旋钮760、770和触发器108、110的操作可能需要外科医生用两只手来操作外科器械,从而失去了一个或多个可能的优点。在各种可供选择的实施例中,现在参见图20和21,外科器械(例如外科器械800)可包括用于使端部执行器706相对于细长轴704进行关节运动的一系列磁性元件,以及用于使端部执行器706围绕纵向轴线799旋转的一系列磁性元件。在各种实施例中,外科器械800还可包括另外的一系列磁性元件,用来在锁紧位置和解锁位置之间运动关节运动旋钮760和旋转钮770。在任何情况下,外科器械800可以在许多方面类似于外科器械700,然而在下文中将更详细地讨论各种区别。
类似于外科器械700的关节运动旋钮760,现在参见图20,外科器械800的关节运动旋钮860可以在远侧锁紧位置和近侧解锁位置之间运动。同样类似于关节运动旋钮760,参见图21,关节运动旋钮860可包括锁紧齿761,当关节运动旋钮860在其锁紧位置和解锁位置之间运动时,锁紧齿761可以分别与旋转钮870上的锁紧齿762啮合和解除啮合。在各种实施例中,可以通过例如一系列电磁体881和磁性元件882将关节运动旋钮860往回或向近侧拉动。在至少一个实施例中,再次参见图21,可以将电磁体881以环形或至少大体上环形的阵列安装到旋转钮870,电磁体881可以与安装到关节运动旋钮860的具有环形或至少大体上环形的阵列的磁性元件882同心或至少大体上同心。在各种实施例中,外科医生可以操作例如柄部组件802上的开关,以将电流源和/或电压源设置成与电磁体881连通,使得电磁体881可以被充分通电或极化,以朝电磁体881吸引磁性元件882,并相应地向近侧运动关节运动旋钮860。在至少一个这样的实施例中,电磁体881可以向磁性元件882施加足够的磁动势(mmf),以充分运动关节运动旋钮860并使锁紧齿761脱离锁紧齿762,以使得关节运动旋钮860可以相对于旋转钮870旋转,如下文更详细描述的。在各种实施例中,与上述类似,可以在关节运动旋钮860和旋转钮870中间定位偏置构件(例如弹簧768),使得当关节运动旋钮860被电磁体881运动并保持在其近侧解锁位置时,弹簧768被压缩。在将电磁体881充分断电或去极化之后,弹簧768可能够将关节运动旋钮860偏置为返回其远侧锁紧位置。在各种实施例中,除了上述之外,磁性元件882可由(例如)铁和/或可与磁场相互作用的任何合适的铁磁材料构成。在至少一些实施例中,磁性元件882可包括永久磁体,例如钕磁体、钐钴磁体和/或任何合适的稀土磁体。在至少一个这样的实施例中,磁性元件882可以被布置和构造为吸引或排斥电磁体881的至少一部分,使得施加到电磁体881的磁动势可以预加载弹簧768和/或提供阻止关节运动旋钮860向近侧运动的阻力。
一旦关节运动旋钮860被充分解锁,如上所述,关节运动旋钮860即能够相对于旋转钮870旋转,以使端部执行器706相对于细长轴704进行关节运动。在各种实施例中,关节运动旋钮860可包括一个或多个磁性元件849,磁性元件849可能够与由安装到旋转钮870的一个或多个电磁体847产生的一个或多个磁场相互作用。在至少一个这样的实施例中,磁性元件849可由(例如)铁和/或任何其他合适的铁磁材料构成,并且可以嵌入和/或以其他方式适当地安装到关节运动旋钮860。在各种实施例中,电磁体847可以向磁性元件849施加磁动势(mmf),以使磁性元件849和关节运动旋钮860相对于电磁体847和旋转钮870运动。在至少一个实施例中,电磁体847的极性可以在第一极性和第二极性之间切换,以便沿箭头D1所指示的第一方向(图20)和/或箭头D2所指示的第二方向驱动关节运动旋钮860。在使用中,参见图20,外科医生可以致动开关869,以将电流源和/或电压源设置成与电磁体847连通,使得电磁体847可以产生足够的磁场,以使关节运动旋钮860在所需方向上相对于旋转钮870运动,从而使端部执行器706相对于细长轴704以与上文结合(例如)外科器械700所述相同或至少相似的方式进行关节运动。
类似于外科器械700的旋转钮770,外科器械800的旋转钮870可以在锁定到机架801的远侧位置和从机架801上解锁的近侧位置之间运动。在各种实施例中,除了上述之外,可以利用一系列(例如)电磁体和磁性元件将旋转钮870在其锁紧位置和解锁位置之间运动。在至少一个这样的实施例中,参见图21,机架801可包括安装在其上的多个电磁体886,电磁体886被布置成环形或至少大体上环形的阵列,其中电磁体886可能够产生一个或多个磁场,这些磁场能够吸引和/或排斥安装到旋转钮870的磁性元件887。与上述类似,电磁体886可以被充分通电或极化,以朝电磁体886拉动磁性元件887和旋转钮870,从而使锁紧齿772与机架701上的锁紧齿分离。一旦旋转钮870处于其解锁位置,即可通过另一系列电磁体和磁性元件使旋转钮870相对于机架801旋转。在至少一个这样的实施例中,再次参见图21,机架801可包括安装到其上的多个磁性元件880,磁性元件880可能够与电磁体847产生的一个或多个磁场相互作用。与上述类似,参见图20,外科医生可以操作开关879,以便有选择地激活或极化磁性元件847,从而产生用于使旋转钮870在第一方向上旋转的第一磁场和用于使旋转钮870在第二方向上旋转的第二磁场。在这样的实施例中,当旋转钮870被旋转时,旋转钮870可以使端部执行器706围绕纵向轴线799以与例如结合外科器械700的上述相同或至少相似的方式旋转。
虽然未示出,但读者将会知道,外科器械800的电磁体可以由共同的电源(例如电池)和/或不同的电源供电。再次参见图21,外科器械800还可包括一个或多个导体或线,用于放置与外科器械800的电磁体连通的一个或多个电源。在各种实施例中,柄部组件802还可包括一个或多个导体或线883,导体或线883可以为电磁体847提供电流和/或施加电压。在一些实施例中,虽然未示出,但导体883可具有充分的柔性和/或松弛度,以适应旋转钮870和机架801之间的相对运动。在其他实施例中,参见图21,柄部组件802可包括定位在机架801和旋转钮870中间的一个或多个电刷888,电刷888可能够在电源和电磁体847之间传导电流,而不论旋转钮870是否正相对于机架801运动,和/或不论旋转钮870和机架801之间的旋转度。在至少一个这样的实施例中,电刷888可以以环形或至少大体上环形的阵列定位在机架801和旋转钮870周围。在各种实施例中,电刷888可包括金属纤维刷(例如编织铜刷)、碳刷和/或任何其他合适的电刷。在至少一个实施例中,“电刷”可包括一个或多个材料块(例如碳块),材料块可能够传导电流和允许相对的“电刷”在其整个表面上相对滑动接触。在某些实施例中,“电刷”可包括任何合适的适形构件。在任何情况下,电刷888可具有足够的回弹力,使得当向远侧拉动旋转钮870时电刷可以弯曲或压缩,而当旋转钮870返回其锁紧位置时电刷可以重新伸展。
在各种实施例中,与上述类似,柄部组件802还可包括一个或多个导体或线884,导体或线884可以为电磁体881提供电流和/或施加电压。在一些实施例中,虽然未示出,但导体884可具有充分的柔性和/或松弛度,以适应旋转钮870和机架801之间的相对运动。在其他实施例中,与上述类似,柄部组件802可包括定位在机架801和旋转钮870中间的一个或多个电刷885,电刷885可能够在电源和电磁体881之间传导电流,而不论旋转钮860是否正相对于机架801运动,和/或不论旋转钮870和机架801之间的旋转度。与上述类似,电刷885包括金属纤维刷(例如编织铜刷)、碳刷和/或任何其他合适的电刷,这些电刷可具有足够的回弹力,使得当向远侧拉动旋转钮870时电刷可以弯曲或压缩,而当旋转钮870返回其锁紧位置时电刷可以重新伸展。除了上述之外,电刷885和/或电刷888可允许在电刷的两个半块之间相对滑动运动。更具体地讲,在至少一个实施例中,例如,电刷885可包括安装到旋转钮870且从其延伸出刷毛的第一半块,其中电刷885的第二半块可包括安装到机架801的一个或多个接触板,刷毛可以接触这些接触板并在接触板上滑动。在其他各种实施例中,例如,电刷885可包括各自具有从其延伸的刷毛的第一半块和第二半块,其中所述第一半块和第二半块可以安装到旋转钮870和机架801,并且可以彼此接触和在彼此上滑动。在任何情况下,电刷885可以以环形或至少大体上环形的阵列定位在机架801和旋转钮870周围。在各种实施例中,再次参见图21,柄部组件802可包括一个或多个导体或线889,导体或线889可以为电磁体886提供电流和/或施加电压。
在各种实施例中,外科器械可包括定位在细长轴内的一个或多个电磁体,其中所述电磁体可能够使外科器械的端部执行器相对于细长轴进行关节运动。在至少一个实施例中,参见图22-24,外科器械900可包括细长轴904和端部执行器906(图中所示移除了一些部分),其中端部执行器906可以通过关节接头920可枢转地连接到细长轴904。与上述类似,端部执行器906可包括枢转板922;此外,细长轴904可包括可通过脊916固定到细长轴904内的销插板926。同样与上述类似,销插板926可包括从其延伸的销,所述销可能够被紧密地接纳在枢转板922内的销孔123中。在某些实施例中,主要参见图23,细长轴904还可包括安装在其内的电磁体940a和940b;此外,枢转板922还可包括安装到其上的磁性元件949,其中电磁体940a、940b可能够产生一个或多个磁场,所述磁场可能够与磁性元件949相互作用,并使枢转板922和端部执行器906围绕由销插板926限定的轴线旋转。在各种实施例中,磁性元件949可包括磁体(例如稀土磁体),所述磁体可以被定位和布置在枢转板922上,使得磁体的极在预定取向上对齐。在至少一个实施例中,磁性元件949可以被布置为使得每个磁体的极被布置成端对端构型,使得每个磁体的正极或北极被定位成紧挨例如相邻磁体的负极或南极。可以设想其他实施例,其中磁体949的正极被定位成相对于例如其负极径向向外。
在使用中,在至少一个实施例中,可以对(例如)电磁体940b进行通电或极化,使得电磁体940b的远端包括磁场的正磁极或北磁极。在这样的情况下,可以使磁性元件949的正极被排斥远离电磁体940b,并使磁性元件949的负极被吸引朝向电磁体940b。因此,在各种实施例中,由例如电磁体940b产生的磁场可足以运动枢转板922和端部执行器906或使它们沿箭头CCW所指示的逆时针方向旋转。在至少一个这样的实施例中,参见图23,可以通过控制流过导体947b的电流量来控制由电磁体940b产生的磁场的强度,其中较大的电流可以产生较强的磁场,较小的电流可以产生较弱的磁场。在某些实施例中,与上述类似,供应到导体947b的电流的方向或施加到导体947b的电压的极性可以控制在电磁体940b远端处产生的磁极的极性。更具体地讲,如果流过导体947b的电流沿第一方向流动,则电流可以在芯941b的远端处产生正极;反之,如果流过导体947b的电流沿相反方向流动,则电流可以在芯941b的远端处产生负极。因此,在各种实施例中,流过导体947b的电流的方向可以选择性地变化,以选择性地改变由(例如)电磁体940b产生的磁场的极性。在至少一个这样的实施例中,电磁体940b远端的初始极性可以是(例如)正极,以便排斥第一磁体949,其中电磁体940b远端的极性可以接着从正极变为负极,以朝电磁体940b拉动紧挨的永久磁体949,从而继续使枢转板922和端部执行器906旋转。一旦第二永久磁体949充分定位,即可再次切换电磁体940b的极性(即从负极到正极),并且朝远离电磁体940b的方向排斥第二电磁体949,并再次继续使枢转板922和端部执行器906旋转。
在各种实施例中,可能期望的是限制端部执行器906可以相对于细长轴904旋转的范围。在某些实施例中,虽然未示出,但细长轴904可包括一个或多个阻挡件,所述阻挡件可能够当端部执行器906沿顺时针方向和/或逆时针方向运动时,阻挡其旋转。在至少一个这样的实施例中,阻挡件可以限制端部执行器906沿顺时针和/或逆时针方向的最大旋转度。在一些实施例中,参见图23,外科器械还可包括用于检测端部执行器906和细长轴904之间的位置或相对角度的装置,以及用于在端部执行器906已充分运动之后阻止端部执行器906旋转的装置。在至少一个这样的实施例中,细长轴904还可包括一个或多个传感器,所述传感器可能够检测端部执行器906上的一个或多个标记,以确定端部执行器906已相对于轴904旋转的量或角度。更具体地讲,在至少一个实施例中,细长轴904还可包括至少一个光电传感器(例如光电传感器991),光电传感器991可能够:当编码器标记990在端部执行器906旋转时经过光电传感器991下方时,用于检测编码器标记990。在各种实施例中,光电传感器991还可包括发光器;此外,编码器标记990可包括在枢转板922上至少部分地反射的表面,该表面可能够反射由发光器产生的光,以有利于检测编码器标记990。在某些实施例中,编码器标记990可以蚀刻到枢转板922上的表面内。在至少一个实施例中,虽然未示出,但端部执行器906可包括多个狭缝或孔,所述狭缝或孔被布置成与编码器标记990的布置方式类似的合适阵列,其中孔可能够允许从定位在枢转板922的相对侧或底侧上的光源发出的光穿过其中。在至少一个这样的实施例中,光源可包括一个或多个发光二极管。在某些其他实施例中,虽然未示出,但端部执行器和细长轴可包括当端部执行器旋转时转位的机械编码器。

为了使制动蹄1131脱离枢转板1122,在各种实施例中,磁性元件1133可包括电磁体,可以有选择地对所述电磁体进行通电,以产生能使制动蹄1131远离枢转板1122运动的一个或多个磁场。在至少一种情况下,可以对电磁体1133进行通电,以在它们的远端(即它们最靠近枢转板122的端部)处产生正极,使得由电磁体1133产生的正极被永久磁体1138的正极排斥。在各种实施例中,可以将电磁体1133安装到制动蹄1131,使得当产生足够的磁动势时,制动蹄1131可以向近侧运动。制动蹄1131可以向近侧运动,使得制动蹄1131不再与制动面1125接合,和/或使得制动蹄1131因其他原因而不能向枢转板1122施加足以将端部执行器1106固定就位的制动力。在某些其他实施例中,永久磁体1138的负极可以径向向外定位,使得对电磁体1133进行通电时,在电磁体1133远端处产生的负极可以被永久磁体1138的负极排斥。在至少一个实施例中,主要参见图29和32,锁1130可包括一个或多个特征件,所述特征件用于限制制动蹄1131的运动,使得制动蹄1131沿预定路径(例如轴线1199)行进。在至少一个这样的实施例中,锁1130还可包括一个或多个凸起或行程限制器1130a,制动蹄1131还可包括止动臂1131a,其中行程限制器1130a和止动臂1131a可能够防止或至少抑制制动蹄1131和锁1130之间横向于轴线1199的相对运动。

在各种实施例中,如上文所概述的,可以致动电磁体1340b和1340c,以使端部执行器1306在沿(例如)轴线1395n的方向上进行关节运动。在至少一个这样的实施例中,可以致动电磁体1340b和1340c,以便分别将永久磁体1349b和1349c吸引到其上。同时,在某些实施例中,可以致动电磁体1340a和1340d,以便分别排斥永久磁体1349a和1349d,从而有助于端部执行器1306进行关节运动。在各种实施例中,根据上述内容,可以致动电磁体的任何合适的组合,使得它们可以(例如)同时和/或以任何合适的顺序吸引和/或排斥与它们相关的各种永久磁体。

如上所述,可利用一系列永久磁体和电磁体来使端部执行器相对于外科器械的细长轴进行关节运动。在各种实施例中,外科器械可包括一系列永久磁体和电磁体,这些永久磁体和电磁体能够驱动切割构件和/或缝钉驱动器穿过外科器械的端部执行器。在至少一个实施例中,参见图46-50,外科器械(例如外科器械1400)可包括端部执行器1406、细长轴1404和切割构件1452,切割构件1452能够在端部执行器1406内前进和/或回撤。主要参见图46和50,端部执行器1406可包括钉仓通道1413,钉仓通道1413能够在其中支撑和/或保持(例如)钉仓115。端部执行器1406还可包括砧座1414,砧座1414可以可旋转地连接到钉仓通道1413,使得砧座1414可以在打开位置和关闭位置之间旋转。如图46最佳示出的,砧座1414还可包括安装到其上的多个永久磁体1417,其中当砧座1414处于(例如)其关闭位置时,永久磁体1417可能够推进或收回切割构件1452。更具体地讲,在至少一个实施例中,切割构件1452可包括一个或多个电磁体1456(图48-50),可对电磁体1456进行通电或极化,以产生一个或多个可以与永久磁体1417相互作用的磁场,并在其间产生磁动势。在各种实施例中,磁动势可以使切割构件1452在端部执行器1406内向近侧和/或向远侧运动。在至少一个实施例中,永久磁体1417可以固定在砧座1414中等距或至少大致等距的孔内;此外,电磁体1456可以安装在上靴座1458内。在各种实施例中,参见图50,上靴座1458可能够接纳在砧座1414内的槽1405a中,使得当切割构件1452横跨砧座1414时,上靴座1458可以向下偏置砧座1414,以压缩定位在(例如)砧座1414和钉仓115中间的组织。

在各种实施例中,如上文所概述的,电磁体可以定位到在端部执行器内可活动的切割构件上面和/或内部。在使用中,可以致动电磁体或对其通电,使得它们可产生极化磁场。在至少一个这样的实施例中,每个电磁体都可包括布置成缠绕构型的至少一个导体,其中当向导体提供电流时,电流可以产生具有正极和负极的磁场。在某些实施例中,同样如上文所概述的,定位在缠绕的导体内的铁芯可以放大由电流产生的磁场。虽然电磁体完全适用于各种实施例,但也可使用能够有选择地产生一个或多个磁场的任何装置。在至少一个实施例中,例如,可极化的装置可包括环形或超环面的永久磁体和/或铁芯,其中导体可延伸穿过永久磁体和/或铁芯内的孔,并且其中由流过导体的电流产生的磁场可以被导体周围的环形铁芯放大。在多种情况下,由此类装置产生的磁场可足以产生如本文所述的可用磁动势。在某些实施例中,由霍尔效应装置或线圈产生的磁场可用来在端部执行器内运动(例如)切割构件。
在各种实施例中,除上述之外或替代地,外科器械可包括一系列永久磁体和电磁体,这些永久磁体和电磁体能够在外科器械的细长轴内推进和/或收回击发杆。现在参见图51A-51C和图53,外科器械1500可包括细长轴1504和击发杆1550,其中击发杆1550可以向远侧推进(图53)和/或向近侧收回(图51A-51C),以便在端部执行器内运动切割构件和/或缝钉驱动器(例如切割构件1452),从而(例如)切割组织和/或将缝钉布放到组织内。在某些实施例中,轴1504可包括脊1516,脊1516可包括能够允许击发杆1550在其中滑动的一个或多个狭槽。在至少一个这样的实施例中,细长轴1504还可包括安装到脊1516的一个或多个电磁体1556,电磁体1556可能够有选择地产生一个或多个磁场。与上述类似,此类磁场可与安装到击发杆1550的永久磁体1517相互作用,使得在电磁体1556和永久磁体1517之间产生的磁动势可以使永久磁体1517和击发杆1550相对于电磁体1556和脊1516运动。在至少一个实施例中,现在参见图52,细长轴1504可包括定位在击发杆1550一侧上的第一组电磁体1556和定位在击发杆1550相对侧上的第二组电磁体1556。相应地,第一组永久磁体1517可以定位在击发杆1550的第一侧面上,第二组永久磁体1517可以定位在击发杆1550的相对侧上。同样与上述类似,可以选择性地提供供往电磁体1556的电流,以便根据需要在电磁体1556内产生正极、负极和/或不产生极性,从而充分吸引和排斥永久磁体1517的正极和负极。在某些实施例中,再次参见图52,细长轴1504还可包括一个或多个导体1584,导体1584可能够向电磁体1556供应电流。在某些实施例中,导体1584可包括定位在脊1516和电磁体1556中间的带缆,其中脊1516可由(例如)非导电材料构成。
